In order to make the list, an institution must be "a regionally accredited college or university, listed in the National Center for Education Statistics database, and offer online degree programs in multiple disciplines." Rankings were based on "perceived market credibility and prestige, academic quality, support for students, and student satisfaction."

Back in March SuperScholar selected RMU for its first annual “Smart Choice” ranking of the top 25 schools for online nursing degrees. In order to be selected for the ranking, institutions must be a regionally accredited college or university and offer an online nursing degree program accredited by either the CCNE or NLNAC. (RMU is CCNE-accredited.)

RMU currently offers two online nursing degree programs:

The R.N. to M.S.N. program is a convenient, cost-effective program that prepares practicing nurses for the role of a nurse educator in clinical, community, or academic settings.

"Robert Morris University has a long-standing tradition of offering nontraditional students a variety of delivery options," says Darcy B. Tannehill, RMU vice president of online & off-campus programs. "We are thrilled that our online programs are being recognized for their academic quality and high level of student support. At RMU, we focus on equipping our students with the skills and support they need to be successful in their career. It's just another way we're committed to changing our students' lives through education."
